Ecopetrol S.A. is the largest company in the country and the principal petroleum company in Colombia. Because of its size, Ecopetrol S.A. belongs to a group of the 40 largest petroleum companies in the world and it is one of the four principal petroleum companies in Latin America.

We have oil producing fields in the central area, south, west and north of Colombia; two refineries, ports for fuel exports and imports on both coasts and the transportation network of 8124 km of pipelines and polyducts throughout the Colombian territory, which in turn communicate production systems with the large consumption centers and the maritime terminals.

We have at the disposal of our associates the Colombian Petroleum Institute (ICP), considered to be the most complete research and development scientific laboratory facility in the country, holding more than a hundred years of geological data in the Colombian petroleum history.

Since 1997 we have set a record of obtaining the highest profits of any Colombian company ever.
